Hundreds of successful beverage companies benefit from superior functionality, automation and increased efficiency.

Drink-IT powers some of the best run beverage companies in the world

Mack Brewery produces 15 types of beer and 13 types of soft drinks – i.e. licensed Coca-Cola products. The Norwegian company that has 130 employees and a turnover of NOK 300 million (EUR 40 million) manages all aspects of its successful business with Drink-IT.

“Drink-IT is a powerful solution that has significantly reduced costs in all departments thanks to automation and increased efficiency,” says Erik Larsson, Logistics & IT Manager, Mack, and continues:

Saving 40% time“For instance, automatic purchase suggestions saves 40% time and prevents unex-pected stock shortages or excessive raw material surpluses. Information is now at our fingertips, and everyone has their own dashboard that displays the information that specifically applies to them.”

Increased efficiency and transparency“We benefit from easy access to valid data in a single solution across the entire value chain. This means that time demanding resolving of anomalies in the accounts have now been replaced with time savings and peace of mind.”

Optimised stock and production control Furthermore Mack’s stock management and production planning have been optimised and automated by using integrated hand scanners. Goods can be stored and picked more quickly, which reduces errors, increases traceability and ensures precise stock data.

“Drink-IT perfectly contributes to higher efficiency and a more structured data management,” concludes Erik Larsson.

Streamlined and transparent processes across the entire value chain enabled Mack Brewery to save significant amounts of time and costs.

Pernod Ricard is a giant in the wine and spirits industry, and has a large portfolio of local and international wine, spirits and champagne brands.

A need for standardised processesPernod Ricard EMEA operates in a number of markets with different languagesand regulations and was using ten different IT systems, which meant that it was difficult for them to bring transparency to their financial reporting, stock evaluation, duty and excise management and discount processes, and also cope with different regulations from country to country.

Smarter processes is smarter businessTo tackle these challenges Pernod Ricard implemented Drink-IT. Thereby the company managed to replace its ten different IT systems with a single solution that enabled them to centrally manage, harmonise and standardise all their

purchasing, inventory, sales and financial reporting processes across their EMEA markets.

Boosting transparencyPernod Ricard benefits from Drink-IT’s built-in best practices that seamlessly integrate and optimise the company’s entire value chain – enabling the company to cope with different regulations from country to country, work more effectively, and keep ahead of the competition across all their markets. They also benefit from having clear insight into their EMEA business through easy access to data in a single solution, increasing transparency and control.

“We wanted a beverage industry specific solution that is cost-effective, easy to implement and use, and built on best practise. Drink-IT ticked all the boxes we had,” says Simon Bennett.

Using Drink-IT to centrally manage, harmonise and standardise the company’s business processes, Pernod Ricard have been able to achieve a competitive advantage across a large number of markets.
